  How to make a squish matrix?
 
Hey all, Is there a way I can make a matrix that will "squish" an object? For example, I have a cylinder I want to squish into a truntcated cone. I could have sworn this was possible (I thought this was how perspective was rendered, by squishing the (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Where can I get a part number for a patterned piece?
 
I've almost finished the Minifig Head with Darth Maul pattern but I don't have a part number yet. I remember seeing a post a while ago with the URL to the page that keeps track of patterned part numbers but I can't find it - can anyone let me know? (...)

  Re: Parts Update?
 
No insult or complaint was implied by my message. 'What gives?' is just my way of being curious. I've been gone for the the last few month due to the fact I'm in the U.S. Navy and was just wondering why. If you find "what gives" disheartening I (...)

(...) This has come up enough times, after a long enough time, that perhaps some mention of this should go onto the ldraw.org front page (just after the "Contribute" blurb), or on the parts update page, or both.

  Parts Update?
 
Am I the only one disappointed by the fact that we haven't had a new infusion of parts in over 6 month? Maybe I missed some earlier discussion, but what gives? Orion (24 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
